Defending champion Barbora Crassicova lost to 10th seed Emma Navaro in the third round on Saturday. The Czech star called the doctor and physio during the third set and his blood pressure was taken. Then she cried behind the court after going below 3-5 in Dickider, and Navarro won 2-6 6-3 6-4.
Krejcikova has now said: “All I can say that the first half of the match I was definitely enjoying myself in court and I was feeling quite good. But then suddenly I lost all my energy from anywhere and I could not really get it back.
“I mean, Emma was just fitter than me. Yes, there was more energy, finally controlling the match.
“Well, first of all, I thought it was food, that I ate very quickly. So I started with all bananas and all sugars and accessories. But I was not really better, I was really feeling worse and worse over time, yes, over time, over time.
“Yes, this is very sad for me and very unfortunate.”
